I used a flap wood tooth pick that I shaped with an exacto-knife. But it
kept twisting off however it got me in the ball park. I'll check out the RS
tunning toolset next.

WOW - Can't believe how good this little rig sounds! ...last night after the
alignment section II proceedure I listened to some DX SSB stations on 20m.
Almost makes wish I owned a mic and SSB rig. (...sorry, only a fleeting
thought mind you) Seriously this little KX1 drives like a big rig. I think
it needs a high performance big rig tunning knob with finger indent for
spinning (but shallower). Let the knob quest begin! ..will advise.
